Imperial Shuttle / Star Wars: Return of the Jedi / Swift, spacious, and combat-ready, Imperial Shuttles are well-suited for transporting Imperial V.I.P.'s like Darth Vader. In the 1983 film Return of the Jedi, an Imperial Shuttle ferries Vador from the unfinished Death Star to the forest moon of Endor. There he has sensed the powerful presence of a certain young Jedi. Sure enough, Vader disembarks to find that Luke Skywalker has surrendered himself to Imperial troops--and to a fateful confrontation with Vader, the Emperor, and the dark side of the Force. / Press the button on the base of the ornament to hear the infamous Imperial March. / Robert Hurlburt / Hallmark Keepsake Artist / BATTERY-OPERATED.
